Competent Christian Counseling, Volume One: Foundations and Practice of Compassionate Soul Care

This is a really well-written book. I have just begun reading it for a college course, and I'm already finding myself in concurrence with what it has to say. I feel it would be an excellent resource for someone who would like to learn about how Christian Counseling works and what it is all about, and it is also an resource for learning how to counsel in a Christ-centered, Biblically based manner. I am looking forward to reading the entire book. It is refreshing to read a book that emphasizes the same things I do when it comes to what one needs to prioritize when counseling.

I learned a lot. Definitely going to keep as reference. TOo bad there is no online version. The publisher should consider doing so

This book provides very useful information for the christian counselor. It provides great insight for understanding people, problem development and intervention strategies. I am in the begining stages of my personal development in Christian counseling and the knowledge and biblical applications that the author provides are both interesting and helpful. This book contains a lot of information however if you read the chapters that supports your interest in this field of counseling, you will be enlighten and encouraged as you prepare to assist people God may send to you for help.

Great experience! Product arrived earlier than expected. No issues at all. This book arrived long before my classes started. Brand new, crispy seam on the inside of the book. I have no complaints! Happy college student & customer!

I am not yet through the book, however, at three quarters of the way through, I am very impressed and once I am done I will return to update this review. In the meantime, to add a bit of background, I have a forensic psychology degree, a masters of science, and I find the integration between the two fields smooth and considerate of one another as well. I am only now refining my theological foundation and therefore, cannot comment on the religious accuracy except from a layman's perspective and what little I have cross referenced as accurate (so far so good). Easy to read and comprehend and offers a greater latitude to the traditional counseling paradigm. It arrived on time, as described by Amazon & manufacturer, the packaging was undamaged, and the product itself was unmolested and made with quality materials.

This was a text book I need for class. Ordered it used, came in great condition!

The book came in good condition and swift shipping. Good seller, would use again. I haven't gotten all the way through the book, (it's for a class), but what I have read has been great. Everything is clear and well expressed, and certainly an excellent aid to anyone wishing to further their education in this field.

This is a required book for school at Liberty University, and I am enjoying the read. The chapters are longer, but it has great information and certainly points the reader towards Christ and explains the truth in Christian Counseling.
